Early Work in video games and TV

He worked on various video games before developing Earthworm Jim at Shiny Entertainment. These included Jurassic Park, Technoclash, The Ren & Stimpy Show: Stimpy's Invention and Walt Disney's The Jungle Book.

In The early 1990's Doug had some work as a comic book artist. Examples of his first venture into that field was They Called Him Evil - a short story featuring his character Evil The Cat, and a short story in The Simpsons Comic.

In 1994 he became a video game designer at the newely founded Shiny Entertainment, working on Earthworm Jim and Earthworm Jim 2.
